I'm well aware of the advantages of 64bit, but I still use some 32bit hardware (sometimes) and don't generally bother with 64bit anything.
I do a lot of distro customisation, and going 64bit would double the work across everything. 64bit ARM is a different matter. The next architecture I bother with will more likely be ARM than 64bit x86.
That may mean that Linux Lite is not an option for long, or I may develop a schema/spec for it and make "Linux Lite Retro" or something of that nature, with updated binaries (not a guarantee, just a remote possibility.) Either way I have a fair amount of computing experience, which I'm willing to share here (as well as learn more about Linux Lite.)

| disable start job vbox.add service |

Hi,
I've been duckduckgoing and have found no results on how to disable a service that slows down boot up time on my laptop with linux-lite and apparently I don't need it as I'm not using virtualbox. The console shows after:
Started LSB disk temperature monitoring
A start job is running for vbox.add service 5m 20s
and it takes about 3 or 4 minutes for this to run its course.
I did a removal (not complete removal) of any software I could find related to virtualbox in Synaptic, such as virtualbox-guest-utils, virtualbox-guest-x11, and virtualbox-guest-dkms but that didn't help.
I then went to Session and Startup and unticked vboxclient under application startup but that didn't help. I then edited /etc/xdg/autostart/vboxclient.desktop and changed the following line to false
Code: X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
Apparently it isn't a service that I see under
Code: service --status-all

I'm a retired IBM Systems Engineer with over 50 years of IT experience but unfortunately none in Linux. However in a triumph of ignorance and superstition over science and technology Linux Lite (LL) was successfully installed running under Virtual Box (VB) 5.2.26 on my PC running Win 10. The screen desktop appears OK but when SOME menu items (software updates) are selected NOTHING HAPPENS - nada, no launch, no err msg !! Rotten thing to do to a nice man like me. What am i doing wrong ?? How is this fixed and why is there no err msg ? (luckily one of the games will run so that i can stay busy while waiting for your response).
The version of LL is (i think) 2.6/3.x/4.x (64-bit)
REALLY Bewildered Bob

| Stand alone Lite ??? |

How can I make Lite my stand alone system? I want to dump Windows 7 and run Lite only. Also, I don't want to boot from the install disk which seems to be mandatory for Lite, at least I don't get a boot option upon startup. The only way I can boot to Lite is if I change my BIOS boot options to boot from my start up disk but then I don't get the option to boot to Windows
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

It was really easy and fast installing Linux Lite 4.4 and everything as you would expect works except i can't get the VLC Media Player to play my DVD's? Can't think what to do now except ask for help from forum members.

So now I want to reinstall Lite and give it all the space it needs, since I know I have plenty of HDD space for it, but I can't find an option to reinstall. How do I go about this??
